It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas around here...
Holiday Play Center Materials
In the coming weeks the children will be creating Santa's Workshop in our dramatic play area. We are planning to have a gift wrapping station, toy shop, cookie baking station and card making station. If you have extra wrapping paper, ribbons, bows, gift bags, tiny boxes, holiday cards, stickers or any other holiday related item that you would like to donate to our classroom the kiddos would to have it for their imaginative play!
Literacy Learning
We have been continuing to work on learning our letters while starting to focus more on the sounds they make. As a whole group we have many fun songs that we like to sing during circle time. I included a link to one below. One of our activities last week during small group time was a clothespin matching game. Children matched uppercase to uppercase letters and lowercase to lowercase and the trickiest ... uppercase to lowercase. We also practiced forming letters and creating books with words that start with the focus letter.

Classroom Volunteers
I have shared a link below to the classroom volunteer calendar. Assisting in the classroom is a great way to get involved and to learn what your child's school day is like. You can choose to stay for the whole class session or if it works better for your schedule you can just stop by to be a special story time reader. While in the classroom I may have a special project for you or I may just have you interacting and playing with the kids. Please sign up for a date and time that works best for you.
Before your first time volunteering you have to complete a background check with the school district. Here is a link for the background check:

I look forward to and appreciate any time you can share!
